         Set the delimiting byte used to mark the end of a record in the
         backing source file for the Recno access method.
    </p>
      <p>
         This byte is used for variable length records if the 
         <span class="bold"><strong>re_source</strong></span> file is specified using the
         <a class="xref" href="dbset_re_source.html" title="Db::set_re_source()">Db::set_re_source()</a> 
         method.  If the <span class="bold"><strong>re_source</strong></span> file is 
         specified and no delimiting byte was specified, &lt;newline&gt; 
         characters (that is, ASCII 0x0a) are interpreted as end-of-record markers.

         the database already exists when
